SCHOOLS IN THE USA
In the US, students start school at the age of 6. Their primary school is called 'elementary', and it lasts for six years. Then they go to junior high school (middle school) for two years. Senior high school is for young people between the ages of 14 and 18. Schools in the USA can be public (the same as state schools in Britain) or private, but some students are homeschooled.
Most American schools do not have any school uniform, but there are other school rules that everyone needs to follow. For example, being polite to your teachers and other students, no cheating or bullying and so on. As for the subjects, there are a few that everybody has to learn: English, Science, Math and PE. Others can be chosen.
Extracurricular activities are very popular in the USA, so each school provides students with a good choice of them. The most common ones are offered by sports teams, music bands, science clubs, art clubs and cheerleading teams.
Graduation is an important event in the USA when students have a ceremony and then a big party called 'prom' at the end of high school. After that, most Americans go to college but it is not for free. That is why some students find a job and work for a while before continuing their studies.
